On Sunday, Newsbusters<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

CBS\u2019s Sunday Morning<\/em> started off with their anchor Jane Pauley fearmongering that if Republicans win in the 2022 midterm elections, \u201cdemocracy\u201d could end in the United States. Plugging an upcoming segment by correspondent Robert Costa, Pauley fretted that \u201cthe very future of our democracy<\/span>\u201d is on the ballot in 2022.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all–we are not a democracy–we are a representative republic. Secondly, most democracies don’t have political prisoners and police raids on people who disagree with the people in power. That has been a trait of the Biden administration–it did not happen under President Trump.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Later on, Costa interviewed leftist propagandist and faux journalist Margaret Sullivan about the mythical threats to democracy by Republicans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Republican Party is gripped by people who are election deniers. How should the press contend with that? It’s happening inside one particular party,<\/span>\u201d Costa whined.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Weren’t Stacy Abrams and Hillary Clinton election deniers? Were they ever reported as a ‘threat to democracy’?<\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hold both parties to the same standards, but when one party is the one who is doing this very troubling thing, we need to be straightforward about that. And if it causes criticism from the right, that’s okay<\/span>,\u201d<\/strong> Sullivan managed to say with a straight face.<\/p>\n

Costa then asked her \u201chow does the press cover it without sounding alarmist at every step?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response, Sullivan unironically insisted that the media hasn\u2019t been \u201cnearly alarmist enough\u201d when talking about \u201cthreats to democracy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

She added that \u201cwe need to stop being asleep at the switch and<\/strong> sound the alarm more about what could happen if election denialists are in power and decide, well, we only like the results of this election, but not that one. I mean, we no longer have a country anymore<\/span>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evidently, it’s only okay to deny elections when Republicans win.<\/p>\n
